Why do we care so much about the poor again? We live in a country where anyone can go to school, get a job, and be successful. Some people took that road (and trust me, it's a lot harder then not), and we don't seem to give a shit about them. Others decided College was just to much work (and don't go with the "cant afford it" bullshit. In some states you can live off of grant money from going to school). Why again are we so worried about how those that don't take care of themselves live, and so little about the ones that did all the right things in there lives? I want someone on this site who is poor and lives in the US, to explain to me why they had no other option to improve there income. I get tired of worrying about those that did not worry about themselves. You want more money, go fucking earn it like the rest of us. |
Reading your comment, I don't see how it is a response to what I said. Who said anything about caring for the poor? My only mention of the poor:
"If you're poor, you'll be poor no matter what (even if the gov't pays for your healthcare or cuts a welfare check).
I'm saying rich people pay more taxes because they are the ones who care. That is why more than half of them vote Democrat.
I'm not talking about college or "taking care of themselves"; I am talking about this fundamental idea:
"If you're rich then you have more to gain by keeping the gov't afloat and the masses pacified." Government's primary role is maintain order.
I may come to the same conclusions as Vagabond, Akuma, and all of them but I do not get there on the same logic.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
